Introduce the puppies to new sights, sounds, and smells...

Introduce the puppies to new sights, sounds, and smells: To a puppy, the whole world is new, strange, and unusual, so think of everything he encounters as an opportunity to make a new, positive association.

The socialization period generally ranges from seven weeks to four months. This phase of your puppy’s life will permanently mold their adult personality and determine whether or not they will be able to interact safely with other dogs.

During the socialization process, you should try to introduce your puppy to new sights, sounds, and smells. Take walks in new areas your puppy hasn’t yet explored and introduce your puppy to as many different types of people as possible. The more stimuli you expose your puppy to, the more comfortable it will be in the future.
